So I’m pretty sure I’m not going to get my last ebay purchase. Now, I’ve done my fair share of ebay transactions and have never really had any problems, in fact, in the six or so years I’ve been an ebay member I’ve never had one bad deal. I think all of my friends have had bad deals. Something has gone wrong here or there, but never for me. I’ve never had a bad deal.
Until now.
My payment cleared on June 10 for An Unstoppable Force by Erwin McManus. If you’ve been keeping up with my blog you have probably noticed that An Unstoppable Force by Erwin McManus is a pretty important book, especially since I am supposed to start reading it in six days. I’m not seeing that happen. And it’s ebay’s fault.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Some people really like ebay. Some of those people live for ebay. I tried it and I’ve decided I’m not going back; I’ve been burned. It only took one time, and yes, I did expect it to happen – I expected it because ebay is full of frauds, and I don’t want to be a fraud.
All of ebay’s members are like the guy that didn’t send me my stuff. They are all greedy and money hungry [I think that is really the same, but it flows so good] and self-serving. Ebay is just a bunch of fanatics that just care about my money. They really don’t care about me.
Members down there at that ebay don’t respect me for me either. They don’t like the way I bid, or the way I type my user name, or the way I use paypal to pay for my stuff. All they care about is “when will I get paid”. It’s like it is all about them and how they do things. What if I wanted to pay with bubble gum wrappers? They won’t take that because it’s not how they do things. Ebay is just too strict for me.
I can say I’ve pretty much had it. It just took one member for me to see that ebay is full of coin rollers preaching that you can “bid victoriously” and “you can find it on ebay”. All of the members of ebay are just like the one that let me down, because they are all the same.
Or are they?
Because, when I think about it, ebay itself hasn’t let me down… an ebay member let me down.
There are thousands of true ebay members on ebay right now bidding, winning and receiving their goods. There are a fair share of unfortunate ebayers too that haven’t quite grabbed a hold of what ebay is all about. Those are the ones that take your money and run, don’t answer your emails, and give ebay a bad name.
They are not what ebay is about.
We should not allow them to set the tone for future ebay visitors or new ebay members.
Until now.

I would just call the ebay police and slap it to them. Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Just bypass doing some research and checking to see if the ebayer that sold you the book isn't having a problem. What if their dog died or has asthma? I mean, they might just have had a bad day. Or they might have run out of gas on the way to the post office and they are waiting on your payment to hit their debit card so they can pay for gas. Have you ever thought of that?
